Maybe once in a lifetime of collecting, a coin operated machine will come along that just commands your attention and compels you to take note of something very very special sitting in front of you. This Mills Novelty "Little Rip" cast-iron payout trade stimulator is just that machine. Demure in size, this beautifully ornate cast-iron case has "Little Rip" embossed on the sides, elves embossed on the coin entry, and even an elf embossed on the back holding a banner inscribed "Little Rip". The machine is baseball themed and the original label is of an infield. Upon playing a nickel the arrow spins and if it falls on any white marker, designating a "hit", the customer wins 25¢ in trade checks. This unbelievable machine is in all original condition. Front instruction label, play field and spinner, aged wonderful patina, and back door with Yale lock. Plays perfectly. The only thing missing would be original trade checks with "Little Rip" embossed on them. With key.
Condition: (Very Good - Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 16" x 11 - 1/2" x 9 - 1/2".
